I just spent about 3.5 hours liveblogging the business meeting for the unofficial discord and I feel simultaneously exhilarated, exhausted, and anxious that maybe other people would have preferred to have handled it and/or done it better? Living with my brain is so much fun.

The 2026 WSFS Preliminary Business Meeting is starting, and can be seen live on YouTube!

I just watched this and I recommend it.

hello i am here to tell you actually probably don't need to be panicking about the explosive diarrhea parasite a thread: www.consumerreports.org/health/food-...

The date for Int'l Non-Binary People's Day (today!) was chosen because it's exactly in between Int'l Women's Day and Int'l Men's Day, and...that's cute. But it could be misconstrued as reinforcing a binary understanding of gender that many of us reject entirely. Gender is more than a spectrum!

It would depend on the sibling, but— [mentally runs through the list of sibling jobs] —no, no, it doesn't matter which, the answer is "SO badly."

This is, imho, and completely earnestly, one of the most profound things that can be said about Jewish identity

This is huge! The Trump administration is abandoning its plan to withhold Medicaid funding from hospitals that provide gender affirming care to trans youth under 19. www.npr.org/2026/07/13/n...

oh it's non-binary awareness week BEWARE NON-BINARY PEOPLE ARE AMONGST YOU YOU MIGHT EVEN BE ONE

The 13th annual international Gender Census 2026 is now open until at least 13th August 2026! survey.gendercensus.com It's for anyone whose gender (or lack thereof) isn't described by the M/F binary. It's short and easy, and results are useful in academia, business and self-advocacy. #LGBTQ

[Me after getting thrown out of a bar] I own this bar, actually

i'd tell you to walk it off, but you don't know how to walk, so - crawl it off! oh, no crawling yet either? uh... roll it off? qwantz.com/index.php?co...

Don’t live your life so that when you die people say “oh I was hoping it’d be the other guy, but I’ll take it”

“Verify your age” motherfucker it’s on Wikipedia

actually a pretty great time to be a kid who hates vegetables

Tonight's ukulele meetup songs: Sealed with a Kiss, Doomscroll, Circle, That Thing You Do!

I have been getting compliments on my Svaha dresses, cardigans, and skirts for years, and I endorse this message. High quality! Geeky prints! With pockets!

Nothing is inevitable.

Oh, thank god, someone found it, I was looking for it yesterday

The answer is that everyone reads all day long, probably at a greater pace and breath than any time in human history. They just don’t read linearly and in the same organized fashion as before. This is a transitional time, and reading practices will recalibrate.

Many cooking posts are just bad ideas. But, sometimes, they’re breathtakingly awful and hilarious (like the Gatorade casserole). And sometimes there’s a bit of weird genius. All I really know is this guy knows what he is doing, and is an agent of pure chaos.

I’m ready to answer the call.

I cannot explain to you how deeply terrifying and anger-inducing it is to have cops and national guard marching down your street after dark and despite constantly posting about occupied Memphis no one gives a shit. yes, I mean my actual street where I live. I live posted it.

Excellent essay by Kat Kourbeti about the motion to officially specify a limit for the number of people who can be listed for a given Hugo finalist. I have a bunch more thoughts about this topic, but haven’t gotten them into publishable shape yet.

Great thread that ties into @johnrogers.bsky.social's story the other day about an enthusiastic young exec telling him they were discovering the real profit in streaming was coming from weekly drops supported by advertising... 🤦‍♀️

Patreon: "If we provided an AI tool to help you with your taxes would you use it?" Me: "do I look like I want to go to jail for conspiring to commit tax fraud"

A good elected official listens, but there’s nothing wrong with holding their feet to the fire to make them hear you. Our community can’t afford to vote and get out of the game. At Essence Fest, I talked with @nativelandpod.bsky.social about harnessing our power.

A short and easy survey about nonbinary names: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F... Closing date: 19th July 2026 #nonbinary #survey

Sudden additional fireworks starting around 3:25 AM are certainly a choice.

Barry Deutsch here is literally the only uninvolved person I've seen weighing in on the Cleves & Walden situation who has actually read both books:

This has been a banner week for non-Catholics learning about Catholicism. On that note, Vi Hart has a guy, and today's his day.

deeply appreciate the schism happening during auction time, it's unbelievable promotion

500 of you have already signed up for this, which means 1) now Courtney is doing a second session & 2) $10,000 to voting rights in honor of a man who would *fucking hate that*

Bree just dropped this ho hum I wonder what it is? www.32auctions.com/organization...

I'm not deliberately seeking out the least likely songs for folk ukulele covers, it just happens. 😅

America keeps trying to get me to go to her birthday party and I’m like no girl u need to go to the hospital

I tend to fluctuate between jeans and t-shirts, (often with a plaid overtop) & those sun-dresses with little tops because I hate my shoulders. In the winter, I am the sweater queen. But a lot of my fashion comes back to "what will get me less dirty glares from assholes?"

The Peninsula Public Library board met tonight, without any advance notice, in order to cut Saturday's hours. They claim that only 1-2 people visit on Saturdays. I found out about the meeting after it was underway, but afterwards I was able to ask the board a few questions.

Anybody else humming this a lot lately?

Thread. I agree that everyone has their own opinion and that's okay, even if that opinion is that my book is terrible. I have amassed a mountain of one-star reviews over 20 years, and I continue to have a career that chugs along nicely. Everyone has bad reviews! It's fine. You'll be fine.

Bummer. These are people that made Bandcamp what it is. I hope Songtradr is just moving around its existing resources and not trying to staff-reduce with AI.

I'm just musing here, but I think there is a Problem of The Non Radical [Queer] that it might be useful to grapple with a little more openly. 🧵 Incoming, hopefully not too discursive, but no promises.

Thanks to the wonderful @lanikaps.bsky.social for taking the time to write about my ongoing Josie saga. For those of you keeping up: - I lost my health insurance today (boooo!) - I was able to maintain my benefits through COBRA (yay!) - COBRA costs $2,281 per month (boo)

"The problem with this one is that I am not Natalie Imbruglia...I apologize if that comes as a shock."

The auction is live! There are so many amazing things to buy and/or bid on. Go check it out!

I published this piece about Brad Lander and antisemitism last week, so this morning I received emails accusing me both of being a genocidal Zionist AND of being an anti-Zionist self-hating Kapo. Somehow both at once! forward.com/opinion/8341...
